How to get unlimited energy in Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery without hacks

Energy is one of the most valuable resources in Harry Potter Hogwarts Mystery, as it allows you to complete quests and earn coins, which in turn allow you unlock accessories for your character and to start higher-level quests.

Your energy level does slowly refresh, but if you can't wait to replenish your energy, there are a few secret ways to help you breeze through quests with free Energy. These energy sources refresh every six hours, so with enough patience they can be an infinite supply of Energy to get through the game.

1. Tap on the painting of a woman wearing white in the East Tower to unlock Energy points

2. Tap the painting of flowers next to the Prefects' Bathroom in the West Towers

3. Tap the wand laying around in the Castle Grounds for free Energy

4. Tap the three suits of armour on the Lower floor West (to the right of the Great Hall) to get free Energy
